About this map

The Red River forms a wide, winding boundary between Bryan Co, Oklahoma, and Grayson Co, Texas, anchoring a landscape shaped by both water and road. To the north, the town of Achille is situated near the Rosewood Cem, while Colbert sits to the west, just north of the Colbert Cem. The map reveals a dense network of local roads such as Scarecrow Rd and Hartline Rd, which connect various agricultural tracts and small water bodies like Kemp Lake and McCarley Lake.

South of the river, the northern outskirts of Denison appear, characterized by family-named landmarks like Langford Cem and through-ways such as Carpenters Bluff Rd. Small communities like Hendrix further illustrate the cross-river connection in this border region. The presence of multiple cemeteries, including the isolated Bloomfield Cem, offers a detailed map for genealogists tracking family history across the state line during the mid-2010s.
